- rvz 6y ago> HN doesn't like talking about race or numerous other "controversial" topics. There was plenty of discussions on HN when GitHub was renaming master/slave terminology [0] and when other open source projects were doing the same. Essentially they break the HN guidelines when they 'like' if it is a company / person they 'like'. On the other hand, when a topic attacks their 'narrative' or attacks their side of the argument from someone they don't like, they downvote, flag and censor and make sure it is never seen. Even if it is factual and has evidence. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23518123 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23518123
- loopz 6y agoI find this on hacker news by time site. These discussions become inflated by politics, so are moderated.
